Usually I'd agree with you, but in this context it seemed it might be appropriate. Regardless, your blog is the only thing keeping me in this one (well, that and my wife refuses to stop watching this garbage) - I only pay attention to the extent necessary to anticipate what you'll be writing about.

Bless you, Pickles.
You're helping keep the faint pulse of this franchise alive...for now.

While I know that this show is scripted and very little of it is real, they could at least pretend that the end-of-day dinners are actually happening. If you look at the plates at the beginning and end of the dinners, you can see that no food has been touched. The producers actually got lazy enough to leave off any silverware from the table at Arie and Emily's dinner. I started to feel insulted after a while.

God that was obnoxious. They couldn't edit that out? It was horrible how loud it would be and then SILENCE on the close-ups. I thought it was my house for a while.

This season just feels too scripted. From the fake controversies to the fantasy suites it just feel clunky and misplaced.

Guessing this will happen. Sean seems like a good dude. Told my wife he seemed like the safest pick of the bunch. Ari and Jef both have very special qualities. Not 100% sure they're not making out with each other back at the house.

I actually thought that Sean was her best choice. Jef will be bored with her in the real world, and I'm not sure Ari has had to deal with very much real world inconvenience in his life. As someone who was a bachelor into his 40s and then picked up a stepson and a baby in the span of 10 months the exchange about what time he gets up was pretty funny. Dude has no idea what's ahead.

I was pretty sure we had a problem with the sound on our TV until I asked my wife what the heck that awful racket is. She is one who figured out they have terrible editing skills.God that was obnoxious. They couldn't edit that out? It was horrible how loud it would be and then SILENCE on the close-ups. I thought it was my house for a while.
Anyone else notice Chris Hanson NOT wearing his own wedding ring at the final rose ceremony?Sean was way too nice and classy at the end to not get serious consideration as the next bachelor.
Jef has enough game to make this one tough on dear ol' Emily even though Arie has been the front runner for weeks now.
Anyone else notice that there are times that Emily looks really attractive and other times, certain camera angles, lighting etc. where she does not look all that?
Lastly, I can not wait for the train wreck known as the Bachelor Pad. That ought to be more entertaining that this season has been for certain.

She let Sean go because of her own inferiority complex. She doesn't know that, of course. But she could sense something was not right between them... and it's the fact that she always feels like he is too good for someone as imperfect as she thinks she is.
Gr00vus
Footballguy
Pickles can verify this, but I'm pretty sure written letters/maps/tomes/assembly instructions are the kiss of death on these shows.Ari's take on how to be a dad was pretty entertaining. There's zero chance a marriage actually happens as a result of this season, little Ricky is a poison pill none of them will be able to swallow - but we all knew that already. I found Emily's eagerness to move away from her hillbilly palace interesting.

I gotta think money had some factor in Sean going home. His family is well off but not uberwealthy like Ari and Jef appear to be. I mean, Sean is doing insurance sales while Jef gets to start a water company and Ari Jr. gets to continue to play cars into his 30s even though he's not good at it.
Gr00vus
Footballguy
On another note, I can't believe these guys are ready to buy in without ever sampling the goods. Well, I can believe it in Jef's case, but the other two riding the blueball express? 
Yeah, she's being a great role model for her daughter - if the goal is to teach her how to be a real life asexual barbie doll.

Ali's former guy Roberto is already announced as the next Bachelor.Sean might have a chance in the future, but Sean's lack of personality might make producers fear another Ben.Also, seems clear he was booted purely on the basis of money. No way Emily's going on here and ending up with an insurance agent.

Jeff apparently started a bottled water company where one full dollar of the sale goes towards The Human Fund or somesuch nonsense. I hate the bottled water industry with the intensity of a thousand flaming Jeffs, especially after the admission by Pepsi that they were essentially filling their bottled water lines up with tap water and marketing it as something spring water for an eleventy billion percent profit. The money wasted and spent on a commodity you can get out of a faucet drives me nuts, so the fact that this swish started ANOTHER bottled water company where he is profiting off the sympathies of the morons who buy this product really irks me.
And why didn't this skinny tie wearing hipster doofus reciprocate his willingness to move out of the suck hole state that is Utah? He asked the question of where she'd want to be, but didn't even offer to leave the safety of his family compound. So brave and so daring, yet the thought of flying the Mormon Coop just isn't in the cards? Really? God, I just want to reach through the TV screen, grap ahold of his ridiculous George McFly hairdo and fling him into the air like a clay pigeon. How the holy hell is he still standing here?
And Arie, dude...lighten up on the facial lotion. You were practically glistening last night like a radioactive isotope. Did you dip into Clark Griswold's patent pending lubricant to apply that graphene on your rosey cheeks? Dude, if you aren't going to use your napkin to eat, use it to dab yourself between shots of you two not eating anything.
Oh, and Chris Harrison? You write like a chick. I don't mean your prose is femme, but your handwriting looks very much like every 8th grade love note I ever received. All one of them, which I just cross referenced for verification. Well, unless of course the intern your banging wrote it for you, in that case, ata boy.
I told my wife and mother that with Sean's white eyebrows, redish face and blonde short hair, that I could pass for his older, more seasoned big brother. They both laughed at me.

a few thoughts:
- what kind of pagan magic did Sean use to make the Fantasy Suite Key open the door with card-swipe locks?
- Sean got the boot because was more "excited to be here" than "in love" with Emily
- "We're going to our own private island!" have fun with all that scrub brush!
- "I know this letter will mean a lot to Little Ricky" (especially when i don't pick you and never show it to her. #beingagoodmom)
- sadly, staying up all night talking to Jef and Sean was Emily's version of a Fantasy Suite
- Emily is more than happy to move to Phoenix...anything to get away from disapproving in-laws with the last name Hendricks
- Big Red Flag: transcript of Emily trying to describe to Jef why she hadn't met anyone prior to the show, "I dated a lot of really nice guys and...like...you know...they just...like...you know...there just wasn't...like...you know..." get ready for 60 more years of that stimulating conversation.
- Arie licks his lips less than my dog. but not by much.
- if Emily's forehead(fivehead?)was any smoother, you could show a movie on it.
prediction - Arie for the win. Jef will cry. Emily will cry. they will cry together and tell each other how awesome they are.

Pickles, could you please confirm the following from last week's (7/2) show? (I watched both in sequence and am sorry for bringing us back a week.) When Jef was talking about where his parents were, he said that they were away...then the following words were dubbed, "doing charity work". The words didn't flow with his sentence and didn't even sound like his voice. If I remember or care, I'll go online and see if I can find it. I swear that is not what he said and that someone dubbed the words in there. The Jef mystery deepens.

Mr. Pickles
Footballguy
I think that was Week 7, no? I don't know if that was dubbed or not, but it wouldn't be the first time. If it was, they definitely got him to do it. "Charity Work" certainly sounds better than "some stuff" or whatever it was.'krista4 said:

If anyone is into that sort of thing, show creator (and recent divorcee) Mike Fleiss is absolutely losing his #### on Twitter over Reality Steve. The guy is worth probably worth north of $100 mil, and yet some guy in Dallas with a Wordpress blog is mentally owning him. Hilarious.

Yeah, I was thrown off looking for it since he told Emily that she knew his parents wouldn't be there. Then a bit later he was talking to the camera about the "charity work" thing. That dubbed segment wasn't showing Jef at the time, but you could still hear that it was spliced in.

Picks,
You were the subject of conversation in my home this evening. My wife today hung out with JP's mom. They've been buddies for a while (in the sense that my wife frequents a store in town they own), but my wife never knew she was JPs mom. Ashley made him move out to NJ because her residency is in Philly, but JP has to shlep back to NYC for work every day.
Incidentally, JPs brother is now engaged to the girl he had over during Ashley's visit with the family. Mom seems to like her a lot.
Wife and I thought you'd need this info. Let us know if you'd like us to convey any messages to Ashley's future in-laws.
Hugs,
Oats

It's a quality rant, however
epsi's Aquafina is filtered using reverse osmosis. You could use raw sewage as the source and get perfectly pure water as the output from the process. The source makes zero difference. Pepsi isn't bottling tap water. No idea what People Water does though. Harrison doesn't write the cards. Neither does Emily. Cassie may. It's more likely the intern fresh out of some awful college where they had a lot of sorority events requiring frilly handwriting. No way Harrison is straight, or banging anyone on set. Sean had more sheen than Arie. Wasn't close.Similar threads
